These walls

And as the door closed softly, the four walls once again became home, and the voices, the energy, the clamor of humanity fell away, becoming part of a different world.

Now, inside these walls was a space apart, an alternate reality, a separate existence. Enclosed was a symphony of unruffled sound: a peace, and a calm, and a singularity of motionless thought.

Apart, now: quiet –and in the comfort embodied by the interplay of firm and of soft, no mind. These walls encompassed the world, embracing it perfectly, reflecting it quietly, in a steady breath and a single human body.
